Hey novataco...you gonna post some photos of that new tonneau installed? I noticed you didn't ask questions on how to clean that so must be the birds bombed you before you actually put the skin on. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product on your truck!

LMAO....this truck reminds me of the time I had a runin with the 'psycho' bird!! This one bird must of had some serious issues. It would sit on my side view mirror and never do a thing. Then it would see itself in the window and go all out psychotic on my car. Seriously one bird covered almost the entire hood, windshield, half the roof and both doors. This went on for weeks until I finally got sick of it. I calmly walked out with my trusty BB gun, took VERY careful aim, and blasted the SOB into Birdy oblivion...problem solved.
This reminds me of times in England when i used to go to Trafalgar Square in London that place is the biggest pigeon hangout in the world i mean SO MANY BIRDS at the sametime it is a tourist attraction and people feed the birds so they stick around and MAN THERE IS SHET ALL OVER THE PLACE. and you are bound to get shet on sooner or later but thats a risk people are willing to take.

No, the plastic bag that the tonneau was in got it good. Last night I sprayed the caca with alcohol and distilled water, then a baking soda and water mixture. After that I gave it a quick slop of Maguires car wash and a wrinse.
Today I gave the whole truck a good Maguires wash after I put the tonneau on. Ill take some pics...fortunately there didnt seem to be any etching in the paint, so all worked out well.

Poop cleaned off without any noticeable etching. I used a spray bottle with half isopropyl alcohol and half distilled water. I let is soak for 5-10 minutes, then soaked it with half baking soda and half water. After that a Maguires wash and I exscaped without damage! Beleow is a pick of the clean hood, and the tonneau before the wash, as well as my bikes mounted on the front rail with tonneau rolled up...
